IT HAPPENED IN FEBRUARY 1992 Major grocery war emerging in Port Perry February 11, 1992 It appears that a major grocery store war is shaping up in Port Perry and from all indications it could be a tough fight. Council was told A&P has been planning for a 24,000 sq. ft. food store on the Conway property in east Port Perry on Hwy. 7A. They also learned that Loblaws are planning for a 30,000 sq. ft. grocery store on the former Zoecon property west of Hwy. 7A and Queen Street. Mayor says Scugog ready for a full-time fire chief February 18, 1992 Scugog Mayor Howard Hall says it is time to introduce a full-time fire chief to oversee the administration of the township’s two halls. Although he would not say when this new position would be created, Mayor Hall said he would like to see it as soon as possible, hinting it could be “perhaps this year”. The mayor said the process would cost a considerable amount of money, but added, “it’s well worth the cost”. Bill Lishman seen in front of his Autohenge, south of Port Perry, in August 1986. Lishman suggests rebuilding Autohenge as a tourist attraction February 25, 1992 If Bill Lishman gets his wish, Autohenge, his man-made replica of Stonhenge in England, will become a new tourist attraction for Scugog Township. Mr. Lishman built Autohenge in 1986, just a few miles from his Scugog Township home, on some rolling hills in a farmer’s field. It was constructed for the Chrysler car company and was featured in commercials introducing its new line of cars for that year. The local sculptor, who lives near Purple Hill, presented his ideas for reconstructing Autohenge to the directors of the Scugog Chamber of Commerce, suggesting that it might just be the attraction needed to bring more tourists into the area and put Scugog on the map. No decision was made by the Chamber of Commerce, but there was plenty of enthusiasm displayed for the idea. By J. Peter Hvidsten 25Years ago
